Very. While it is generally believed that developing countries are dangerous and disease ridden, after a few days on the ground, most volunteers come to realize just how safe Uganda is. Poverty doesn’t create crime. Disconnection does. Most Ugandans would rather be your friend than mug you.

Further, when you are volunteering, you are hosted by the entire community. You are welcomed and protected in ways regular tourists are not.

You are requested to visit a travel clinic for recommended vaccinations and you must take a malaria prophylaxis while volunteering. Mosquito nets are provided at all our volunteer placements.
